The neighborhood just north of the Vatican is pleasantly tourist-free and residential, making for a truly local experience as residents shop for their groceries. Prati’s food shops and the Mercato Trionfale, a modern construction that is one of the largest covered markets in Rome, are sensational, and the area is also home to the world’s best pizza by the slice. This walking tour will explore the overlooked streets of this residential district and focus on its delis, bakeries, market, cafes, and gelato shops. Visitors who have already explored the historic center or are looking for a profoundly Roman culinary experience will come away with an understanding of how locals eat and shop in their own neighborhoods.

Please note, the itinerary includes quite a bit of walking.
